Ben Greenfield contrasts his deepest fear, losing one of his twin sons, with his lesser fear of his own death. He asks whether his daily choices around longevity and biohacking actually match what he's most afraid of losing, and invites you to do the same.
Does what you prioritize in life truly match up to your greatest fears and needs and desires to be as vulnerable and honest as possible? I can tell you that one of my greatest fears in life is that I will lose one or both of my twin sons. On the flip side, I don't really fear death for myself anywhere near as much as losing my sons. I don't necessarily want to die, but I'm not that nervous or apprehensive or fearful of the process of dying based on the fact that my deeper fear is losing my sons, but my lesser fear is dying. Where should I spend the majority of my time? Engaged in life extension, anti aging fitness biohacking and healthy longevity strategies so I can suck as many years as possible out of life or engaged in deep and present time with my sons? So how about you? What are your fears? Does the way you live your life reflect your fears and your truest priorities? What is it you're afraid of and how are you living your life so that you're prioritizing, addressing that fear and any deep seated desires that that fear might be stemming from?
